.Wookiee slaves are more of a Czerka thing, really. The empire was extremely xenophobic and I’d think would not have let any aliens near the Death Star.
Wouldn’t anyone not from Naboo be an alien to Palpatine? Jar Jar should have been less of an alien to Palpatine than Anakin was. Luke and Leia were Tatooine/Nabooian hybrids.
Xenophobism doesn’t follow things like logic. It follows arbitrary lines of us against then.
Because of that, the word “race” was equivalent to “nationality” in the Europe of the 1930s (as in “the french/german/italian/english race”), while in the USA it was equivalent to “skin color”. While most European languages don’t use the word “race” anymore, because it’s essentially meaningless since it can mean anything from species (“the human race”) to nationality, this meaning difference lives on in words like racism. Because of that, a white American who hates all white Canadians isn’t considered racist in US-English, but a white German who hates all white polish people is considered racist in German.
Since these words have aso much flexibility in their meaning, it would totally fit that the Empire is xenophobic towards anyone who looks different to humans, no matter where they are actually from.
Kinda how white people in the US are generally more racist against blacks/hispanics/asians than towards descendants from a different European country.
how many Wookie slaves were on that Death Star and the second?

Think less planetary logic and more
